million energy mezzanine fund. Prudential Capital Group is a leading
source of private capital for public and private companies and is the
private capital arm of PGIM,
the $1 trillion global investment management business of Prudential

As managing director, Hemsey will participate in the fund’s investment
origination efforts in the electric power industry, targeting new
investments ranging from $10 to $50 million of primarily mezzanine debt
and equity investments in the North America power industry as well as
management of portfolio holdings. Her appointment is effective
immediately, and she will report to Randall
Kob, managing principal of PCEP.

PCEP seeks to make investments in the conventional and renewable power
sectors with an emphasis on providing capital to project development

sector will add significant value to our team as we continue to provide
innovative financing solutions to the middle market,” said Kob.
